Hey ladies and gentleman (do we even have ladies on this forum, besides Helen?)
Here are the results of a second cleaning phase with Kreen in my 1998 Toyota Camry V6 with 230,000 miles. I ran a quart during the first cleaning phase and now ran a second quart in 16oz doses over the course of 2,500 miles.
I sent out a sample of the oil for analysis, will post the UOA when it comes in mid next week.
Here's a picture after the first Kreen cleaning...
We'll use this as the BEFORE picture in this case.
and here's the results of a full quart of Kreen...
Honestly, it's not the results I was hoping for after using the so called potent engine cleaner. All of this is after Auto-RX had a stab at it, softening it up and chewing away quick a bit and using the amazing PYB and it's supposed cleaning abilities along side the cleaners. I touched another area with the tip of my screw driver and it's very soft and comes right off, so I don't know why these cleaners aren't able to remove the stuff.
Here are more pictures of the valvetrain from various angles. I will now use these pictures as the BEFORE pics of the upcoming Auto-RX PLUS (the newest and greatest formulation of the juice). The previous Auto-RX seemed to clean this particular area WAY better then I expected Kreen to clean it, so I'm hoping the more powerful ARX+ will put a better dent in the build up as well as clean the rest of the block.
